Re: Wanting to buy AXA 250-111 - wanting opinions on which brand


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

??? Just plan if ya buy a import & this goes for chucks also & just about anything with more that one part that yer gonna want to dissemble the unit & clean out all the manufacturing smeg & ya may want to re-clock the handle . I took mine apart when I got it to re-clock the handle there was a lot of shavings left over inside . Take pics if ya do this project , they may come in handy on reassembly . I'm not a big fa of the knurler that comes with the QCTP . I'd rather have a plain tool holder & get/build a scissor knurler .

YMMV

I am a total newbie learning his lathe.
I found out from this group previously that the quick change to hold her that I would need for my atlas 10 inch Lathe would be an AXA 250¨C111. If I am remembering correctly I was given a link and found it on eBay.
?
Question 1:? I went to eBay and found various options and makers.? Should I be concerned about the unit I buy being Bostar or Labworks, etc.?
?
Question 2:? Knurling tool - two types - which would you recommend??
I see two options within the Bostar brand:
A.? a Bostar unit selling an 11 piece set where the knurling tool is a a 250-110 that has the knurling integrated on one end and says the unit, "Can also turn with bits up to 1/2."??
?
B.? Bostar has a 10 piece set with its knurling attachment being a separate unit that fits into a 250-101:

Merry Christmas!
